In this episode, I dive into the latest developments with the Social Security Fairness Act and what these changes mean for retirees who were previously ineligible for Social Security benefits. With potential increases in payments and retroactive benefits, this episode is packed with critical insights for anyone impacted by the new law.

I break down real-world examples to show exactly how these changes will affect individuals—particularly teachers, former public employees, and those with pensions exempt from Social Security. Whether you’re waiting for retroactive benefits or trying to understand the tax implications, I’ve got you covered with the essential information you need.
